Re: 4GL array question
Answered: red (solid confidence) — The original '4GL array question' and Jonathan Leffler's substantive reply ('get off that 6.0x/7.2x version, read the manual') are not present in this excerpt -- every archived message is banter about manuals, then sports and politics, with zero further technical content.
Advisory only.
Posted in 2003
Despite the subject line, this portion of the thread contains essentially no technical content. It opens with a one-line quote of Jonathan Leffler's advice on the original 4GL array question — upgrade from the old 6.0x/7.2x versions and consult the manual — which prompts jokes about what a "manual" is and about the 'rename database' command. The rest is entirely off-topic banter about the 2003 Rugby World Cup final, John Howard, politics and Australian TV comedians. The original array problem and any resolution are not visible here.

He comes from the mean side of politics - our equivalent of the Tory party.
I don't know why you're congratulating Watson - he lives in Scotland. It was all down to me. And yes, Howard did look thoroughly miserable, and fail to make eye contact with any of the magnificent English victors. What's that all about?

Well done. > And yes, Howard did look thoroughly miserable, and fail to make eye > contact with any of the magnificent English victors. What's that all > about? He's a selfish little pr... I expect he had grand visions of flashing his goofy ear-to-ear grin in front of the victorious wallaby teams and bask in the glory as if it was his own, which is his usual trick at sporting events. Also, why do the Europeans get so cranky with the Barmy Army? They're great fun. Is it just because they don't go to bed before 11pm? Is that any reason to bring out the riot police?

It was an excellent game between a bunch of Fit, Potent and very attractive young men .... and a bunch of very experienced players on the other team. Who could not have enjoyed that game, whether or not your team wins? >> PPS - I would like to apologise on behalf of all Australia for Little >> Johnny's sourpuss performance during the medal presentation.

They haven't even renewed themselves yet. Labour is currently stuck in the 70s. Which I suppose is better than the current murder of Liberal crows who are stuck in the 50's... No wonder the Greens and Independents control the balance of power these days.

Nelson. I believe they did a series a year or so ago on ITV4? In some studios up north. By the end of the series, the audience was really starting to get it...
tried to reply to you privately about this - roy and hg are well known here from *channel* 4, and also did some fosters ads - but your mailbox is full.
